Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs broke the story of Hope Hicks’s COVID-19 Infection

One of the weirder ways this debate has played out since Barrett was first discussed as a potential Supreme Court nominee is the fight over whether or not People of Praise, the group of which she is a member, is also one of the inspirations for The Handmaid’s Tale.
